• W2989746679 abstract "The primary purpose of this study is to provide an analysis of clause types in Persian. Prior to the study of clause types, however, I investigate significant aspects of the Persian verb phrase and noun phrase because they are directly related to the subject matter of this research. The study is oriented towards comparison with English. The most significant topics on the Persian verb phrase are tense, aspect and aspectuality, and modal uses. These issues are investigated in the light of discussing the roles of the Persian imperfective prefix mi-. Related to the aspectual opposition, I argue that the general aspectual classification proposed by Comrie (1976) is not wholly applicable to Persian. I propose a modified version of his classification. I demonstrate that the concept of auxiliary is that of a highly grammaticalised verb functioning as dependent of the main verb. Auxiliaries have lost main verb features and become dependents of the main verb. I recognise two classes of auxiliaries in Persian, three modal auxiliaries and four central auxiliaries. They are characteristically used to mark tense, aspect, mood and voice. As in most modem approaches, noun and noun phrase are two distinct concepts in our analysis. I discuss the properties of the word class noun and how itis distinguished from the adjective in Persian. The functions and the structure of the Persian noun phrase are also looked into. A significant topic related to the noun phrase is the function of the complement marker ra. I argue for ra as a marker nonreferentiality. However, I note that any attempt to assign a single role to ra would result in an untrue picture of it. Typological studies support the thesis that numerous languages contain certain grammatical categories such as declarative, interrogative, exclamative and imperative clauses. These categories are characteristically used in expressing the semantic-pragmatic categories statements, questions, exclamations and directives respectively. However, the relationship between them is not one-to-one. It is a not uncommon practice to use an interrogative to issue a directive, and so on. My contrastive investigation of Persian clause types indicates that the two languages differ significantly in certain respects. One of the most important differences concerns the relationship between the unmarked category and the closed interrogative. I argue that while in English the unmarked category is declarative, the unmarked category in Persian is neutral. I show that whereas in English rising intonation can combine with the unmarked category to express questions only to a relatively restricted extent, in Persian it is the most frequent way of signalling a question. Accordingly, in Persian the distinction between closed questions and statements is most often not a matter of grammar but of prosody." @default.
